Re: Presentation on the advantages of WDSCi

And be sure to check out the Library at the first link listed below.

There are 2 success stories, aimed at webifying the iSeries. The 
Library has more on using WDSC for regular RPG development.

You WILL run into resistance the first time WDSC locks up - as you 
did, I'm sure. But the trade-off in convenience for longer 
development tasks is worth it. Quickies are still best done in SEU, IMO.
